Thanks to all of you who were generous enough to help me with my 
problems creating composite charts.  I think I finally figured out 
what happened.  I had not one but two different problems 
simultaneously, which made it difficult for me to realize what was 
going on.  The first problem was that my original database was 
corrupted.  I noticed recently that whenever I tried to use that 
database, the composite chart always had errors on the same 5 days.  
Also, only certain composites had the errors, which leads me to 
believe that the data for some stocks was affected, but not the data 
for all stocks.  My original code was correct since I had copied it 
straight from the "Intro to ATC" article several months ago.

My next problem occurred after I created a new database.  By this 
time, I had already tried to add the weightings to my stocks.  I 
didn't initialize the "w" variable, as Mr. Janeczko pointed out the 
other day.  This meant that although my 2nd (and probably 3rd and 
4th and 5th) databases were not corrupted, the code was incorrect.  
I realize now that when I used the "good" databases, the errors were 
more random (i.e., not always on the same days).  Mr. Janeczko 
pointed out the other day that failure to initialize the "w" might 
lead to random bars such as this.

So, my biggest mistake was not going back and simplifying the code 
as much as possible when running it on my new databases.  I thought 
the code was fine since it seemed to work well for the first few 
days, but apparently it wasn't.

I uninstalled AmiBroker and deleted all the databases and reloaded 
everything just to be safe.  Now it seems to be working fine.  
Again, thanks to all of you who responded to my cry for help.  
Hopefully I won't start getting errors in the next few days -- the 
last time I thought it was working, I did start getting the random 
errors within a few days after creating the composites.  I think I 
may be out of the woods this time, though!

Regards,
Jason
